Parking is subject to availability, and rates can change without notice. We have two lots, one outdoor and one basement, both off Koa Avenue.

How do I get to the hotel from Honolulu Airport (HNL)?

A taxi costs about US$50 to US$60 one way and takes 25 to 35 minutes, depending on traffic. An airport shuttle costs about US$18 to US$25 per person and takes about 45 minutes because it makes several stops. Rideshare pickup points are on the departure level at the airport.

We do not run our own airport transfer, but our bell staff can help you book a shuttle or taxi back to the airport. Our airport to Waikiki guide compares every option.

Yes. We have beach toys for children, family-friendly pools, cultural activities and a game room, with activities for all ages.

We do not accept pets or companion animals. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), we welcome service animals that are trained to perform specific tasks related to a disability.

What are the deposit and cancellation policies?

We charge the first night's room charge plus tax to your credit card when you book. That deposit is refundable if you cancel before the deadline. For stays between January 5 and December 24, the deadline is 3 days before arrival. If any night of your stay falls between December 25 and January 3, the deadline is 14 days before arrival. Non-refundable rate plans, such as Pay Now & Save, cannot be cancelled. Policies may change without notice.
